So the premise enables said individuals wanting to start courses to do it themselves through a white label platform?
I like the idea of pricing from the get-go as the only way you get the real insights is if you can get someone to part with their cash, but in terms of the starting off I don't see the backlinks really elevating you to get those initial users, maybe partner with the likes of App Sumo to start off with?
Hey :) I'm actually from Paddle yes this is true as Jerriep touched on as well as handling all sales tax we take care of all the other complexities that occur when billing :)
Out of interest, why did you go down the avenue of hacking together your own system to handle subscriptions? Surely you've limited yourself like you've said you have to build out every time you want to attach another payment method like paypal - Is this not more expensive than looking into a Merchant of Record handling these complexities for you?
There must be some sort of miscommunication here. My (SaaS) subscription system is vanilla Stripe without abstraction. My (single-purchase, tshirt) system was an abstraction across Stripe and PayPal.
I can only imagine the elevated pain of abstracting across multiple subscription systems. Ouch.
My bad must have been a miscommunication here. I was about to expand on those key differences between payment gateways vs Merchant of Records. http://bit.ly/2Us1OWM - Could still be an interesting read as it explores those key elements of what you have to juggle.
Makes sense - I guess it's just an unclear emphasis on their offering which essentially is taking that work off your hands. What would you prefer to see?
Couldn't agree more, cool to see they indicate that they're working on it but then as I'm sure you're aware of there is so much more needed than just the dealing of tax, how do you deal with the likes of managing your chargebacks? Support? - This post expands on how Paddle helps here: http://bit.ly/2Us1OWM
